The most misunderstood theory on this planet. Period.
This theory was only meant to be used and understood in an academic context, but I guess some people decided it would be "cool" to use in mainstream discourse (i.e. social media). Thus, the misunderstanding begins.
In all seriousness, for someone to understand this theory, you would need to understand what "critical theory" is first. I am specifically referring to the philosophical theory that Adorno & Horkheimer invented, which is basically a heated critique on mass-produced culture.
If one does not understand the tenets to this theory, then one should not voice their uninformed opinions on said theory.
Of course, perhaps the fault lies more in the people who decided to abuse this term. And in that case, I understand you 100%, but at the same time it's still unfair to dismiss it as BS.

And you fucking listed several of the values you've been able to glean from the Super Omega Bible (Supreme). I'm literally writing the better alternative as you read this and you're stealing it as an interpretation of the bible. Which it's not. It's BETTER than the bible. I'm BETTER the God. Like, 3 to 6 times better.
Hym "And I don't just criticize you're literally stealing the better alternative and gloming it on to the bible as a matter of interpretation. That's literally all Jordan Peterson has ever done. Repurpose other people shit for his own use under the guise of being the TRUE and CORRECT interpretation of the bible. HE CAN'T SEE HOW IT'S NOT TRUE GUYS!"

As someone who has cited this on so many occasions that it's IN MY PREDICTIVE TEXT... Why do you think it would logically follow that I wouldn't wnat credit or money?
Hym "Seriously! I've cite Ayn Rand's criticism of altruism so many time it's in my predictive text! That's what makes it something-something non-sequitur guys! Try literally anything other than Uno Reverse and Something-Something Non-sequitur ONE TIME! It's a literal coin toss."

I have some concerns that we're not focusing enough to prioritize which three (3) crayons will be used by our stakeholders; it's critical path.
